I don’t know about wood fired but occasionally the rubber bands do get a bit stretched. J!
To address the whole idea of a new Kitfox list: Why fix something that isn’t broke? I agree wholeheartedly with the idea it’s not the hardware of the list but the members who make things interesting. I do a lot more reading here than I do writing. As I’m in the throes of installing a 912 into my plane, and I know so little about this engine, I’ve been doing a lot of mail reading. Often I come across items, like this one, that I feel deserve a comment. I would miss a lot of that on a more structured list.

Rick, Good Luck with the web page. This one works pretty well. I am also interested in RV's but to me Van's Airforce web is too complex. Us Kitfoxers are simple folk. Hell, Lynn and Deke up in MI still use Kerosene powered computers and I think Noel and Dave in Canada are running wood fired MACs. We don't mind hitting the keyboard 2 or 3 times to get info, but, Damn it, that's it!

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your comments. Having been a long time RV builder and user of the www.vansairforce.net forums I know that the vBulletin forum platform has some significant features that enhance the user experience. Yes, it is different, but once you get your routine down with forum and thread subscriptions I think you'll find it to be a better tool. Also, and this is a biggie, I have it set up to allow pictures to be embedded right in the messages (although limited in size to 640 x 640 pixels). Most folks have digital cameras these days, and we all know that one picture is worth a thousand words, yet most folks also don't have their own web sites for posting pics. Therefore simply putting a copy in your message is powerful indeed. If you check around the web you'll see that all the truly state-of-the art communities use vbulletin or something equivalent.
Several years ago the RV community went through this exact transition and there were a few who didn't understand or support the idea, but over time the bulk of the community did and never looked back.
Of course I am just providing an alternative, users are free to go where they like, but you have my commitment to develop TeamKitfox.com into a truly valuable tool for the community. As an EAA Chapter president, Technical Counselor, Flight Advisor, and two time RV builder I am in it for the long run.
Cheers,
Randy

I like the web page look, but I really think this could be incorporated into the existing forum. It is the knowledge and experiences of builders and flyers that make this forum so powerful. Besides it takes money and personal time to run a forum so why duplicate efforts. I am not building at present but I really want to know our list be around in 5 years. Maybe you should talk with Matt Dralle off line.

Kitfoxers,
Just a quick note to let you all know about a new Kitfox forum I've started with some different features than are offered here on this list. Please consider taking a minute to check it out... www.teamkitfox.com
In the interest of building an enhanced online community I'd appreciate your feedback on features you'd like to see.
